Moon over Humboldt

A Novel

De: Jim Hight

Narrado por: David Cantor

"A Stunning heart-tugging debut—Hight paints a setting reminiscent of Richard Powers' The Overstory while weaving a tale of addiction as crushing as David Sheff's Beautiful Boy!"—Cam Torrens, author of False Summit

Bill Collins raised his son Kenny to work hard in the logging trade and keep his whining to himself. But when Kenny becomes a meth addict, Bill must face the bitter truth that he may have failed at his most important job.

Jonah Price moved to Humboldt County to save the redwoods. Yet, guilt over his father's death leads him to get high so often that he walks through life like a zombie, half-dead to his surviving family and floundering as an environmental activist.

After meeting in a 12-step program, Bill and Jonah form a bond that grows as they open up about their struggles. They find in each other a kindred spirit who could help each man rebuild his shattered life—if they can overcome their differences.

Great Audiobook

Enjoyed the story. The audiobook sounded great! I was happy with the purchase. Very pleased.

Heartfelt Story

A heartfelt, earnest and thought-provoking story. The audiobook was very good and I enjoyed listening to it.

Good personal growth story.

I loved hearing the references to the beauty of my home. I hated the sexual talk. I know that the curse words are acceptable to most but, they are very offensive to me. The story could be told without these disturbing words. I really enjoyed hearing how the program can work to help many overcome bad habits. The personal growth is fabulous. I also appreciated how the character helped women who are being abused. Thank you for listening to my opinion.
